It targets original equipment manufacturers in the passenger car, commercial trucking, and robotaxi sectors. Customers include Volvo Cars, Daimler Truck, and Paccar. Luminar went public in December 2020 through a SPAC merger with GISA, raising over $650 million. The company has secured contracts worth more than $2.5 billion for lidar supply.
